Jennifer Hudson starred in the first extended sneak peek at the deliciously dramatic second season of Smash released during Monday’s The Voice.

Showing flashes of upcoming scenes with most of the new cast, the preview saw Karen getting a little loving from Jeremy Jordan’s character, Jennifer Hudson walking out to paparazzi telling Karen to “get ready, this is gonna be you in 6 months” and much more. Watch the video below!

So excited. Happy to Megan Hilty back. This looks like a great season. And the cinematic scope looks astounding.

I’m so happy they’re revamping the show. They took away the bad (Dev and Ellis), threw in some awesomeness (Jennifer Hudson), and kept the rivalry between Karen and Ivy (a necessity). This second season looks and sounds AMAZING!!! I’m about to re-watch season 1 online :)

Can it just be February now? This made me so excited!! I think they’ve learned from their mistakes last season, and are working on doing better this season.

Wow, such a long ‘trailer’. Love Sean Hayes! I’m not sure if I like Karen being bitchy towards Ivy, but it definately got me excited for the second season! Februari, come along!
